To the new biome!

Every new biome brings a host of new challenges and unique build features for crafters to try. However, due to Overworld’s massive size, it can be difficult to narrow their location.

Fortunately, there’s an easy way to find Minecraft’s new biome, the Pale Garden, and we’re here to show you where to go.

How to find the Pale Garden biome in Minecraft

You must download the correct version first to uncover the Pale Garden in Minecraft. Currently, it only works with Java Edition’s Snapshot, using the Minecraft Launcher. Locate the Snapshot file in ‘Installations’ to activate the game’s new content. You may have to attach the latest Data Packs here to gain access to upcoming features.

Once the world loads in, you can easily find Minecraft’s Pale Garden by entering the command, ‘/locate biome minecraft:pale_garden.’ Use the coordinates shown here to determine where the nearest garden is. If you want to reach there quickly, enter the ‘/tp’ command to teleport there instantly.

You may also be lucky enough to find a Pale Garden by chance. It’s not the most suitable method, but you can see what awaits you through standard exploration. Both techniques will work for the official version (outside of SnapShot) and will be available shortly for Bedrock Edition users.

Now that you’ve found the Pale Garden, what does it actually do? Well, the first thing you’ll notice is the new Pale trees, which give off a pretty dead-looking appearance. However, if you turn them into planks, you’ll uncover the latest wooden blocks with white coloring, almost similar to birch. It’ll also unlock recipes like Pale Oak Door, Fence Gates, and Boats.

Moss will grow from these trees, allowing you to pick them up with your shears. They make great decorations for your builds, where you can establish your very own Pale Garden biome.

If you take a look around the Pale Garden, you may notice that no animal mobs spawn here. That means it’ll be more desolate than usual, but there is one foe you need to look for. More specifically, you must watch out for the Creaking mob, who will disguise itself as a tree in the biome.

Unlike the Enderman, the Creaking mob is a different kind of challenge. The moment you catch its eye, it freezes in its tracks. But don’t let your guard down – if you lose sight of it, it will rush towards you for an attack. Remember, you can’t hit it directly with a sword or any other weapon. Your goal here is to find and eliminate its heart.

The Creaking Heart typically spawns in a nearby tree, which will be pretty hidden. Follow the illuminating pathway from the mob to narrow down its location. The block will also have a noticeable red/orange color to help you differentiate from others. Then, you can take the heart down to defeat the Pale Garden’s new mob in Minecraft.
